The 2021 Formula 1 championship final continues to generate discussion. While an investigation is underway at the FIA to analyze how the end-of-race decisions were made, several figures in the motorsport industry have expressed their opinions on this highly controversial finale.<\/p>\n
Recently, it’s the eight-time World Rally Championship (WRC) champion and recent runner-up at the Monte-Carlo Rally, S\u00e9bastien Ogier, who shared his point of view. On RMC, the Gapen\u00e7ais simply believes that Lewis Hamilton was robbed of his title: “It’s certain that it must have been very, very difficult for him to handle. He truly felt cheated, there’s no need to be afraid of the words, he was robbed.”<\/p>\n
Ogier also commented on the course of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix while praising the merits of the new world champion: \u00ab Even though I have a lot of respect for Max Verstappen, who had a great season, both deserved to be champions but it’s true that on the last weekend… Lewis dominates. He is ahead until the end and then unfortunately for him, a few laps before the finish, there is this famous Safety Car. \u00bb And to add: \u00ab Either one would have been a worthy champion but it’s true that considering the unfolding of that weekend, it’s a robbery and it’s tough for Hamilton to swallow. So yes, I understand his silence. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Regarding the future of the British pilot, the likely future endurance driver believes that the 2022 season will not go on without him: \u00ab I think he will come back. He is in an extremely competitive environment with the best team at the moment. This year, there are new cars emerging, so there are a lot of questions. But I am quite convinced that he will come back. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
